Summary

"My lord... I'm standing here in a borrowed tunic and breeches. I lost my horse. I lost my weapons. The Crown has already seized my lands. What do I possibly have to trade?"

To Sir Gregory Lestrade, commander in the rebel army, fortune could have perhaps been a little kinder. When his forces are decimated on the battlefield, Gregory finds himself fallen into the hands of an enemy Marquess - a man whose sharp mind, imperious disdain and impenetrable castle walls are legendary.

But the Marquess has a proposal to restore Sir Gregory to grace. All he needs to do is make a choice.

His life - and the lives of his men - or his honour?
